Ability to Scroll Through Skins in Hangar Via Thumbwheel
« on: October 12, 2026, 02:24:41 PM »
It would be great to be able to scroll through skins (for the selected airplane) in the hangar without having to use the dropdown menu.   Arrows, thumb wheel, or both to cycle through them would be awesome.

the wheel will scroll the plane/gv list and skin lists but you have to click on one to display that specific one.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

I remember to look at this tonight and yes, when I use the wheel, the cursor bar moves up and down, but I would like it to more scroll through the individual selections in the box went in the hanger. I saw DLO52 do this in one of his videos I probably should’ve just asked him lol.

DLO52…

I’ve seen videos where you go through the hanger list of the plane and vehicle set like you’re just scrolling through each line continuously it was pretty neat.

When I login tomorrow, I’m gonna remind you to come look at this.

Hopefully Hitech can program it to scroll the skins themselves.

Do you mean something like put your mouse on the plane, it highlights in some way and then scroll wheel changes skin?

I would like it to do that for both the skins and the planes.

Like with the yellow box around it?   That's fine.    Or have it default to the plane so that if the mouse is not on fuel, ordnance, etc. that moving the thumbwheel will rotate through each different skin for the selected plane.

You can even give a very subtle kerchunk sound when the plane switches.
